Different thickness of thermal label paper can indeed meet different needs. The thickness of thermal label paper mainly affects its printing effect, durability and adaptability in a specific environment. The following is an overview of thermal labels of different thicknesses and their application scenarios according to information from authoritative sources:
First, the common thickness range
The thickness of thermal label paper is usually expressed in grams (g/m²) or microns (μm). The common thickness range of thermal paper is about 60-80μm, but the thickness of thermal paper will vary for different specifications and purposes.
2. Specific thickness and application
Thinner thickness (e.g. 55g/m²)
Application scenario: It is usually used in fields such as fax paper and medical electrocardiogram drawings, which require high color density without high durability.
Features: The thickness is thin, the printing effect may be relatively general, but it is suitable for occasions where the thickness is not high.
Medium thickness (e.g. 63g-70g/m²)
Application scenario: It is widely used in the fields of cash register paper, thermal printing paper, and some label printing requiring certain durability.
Features: moderate thickness, clear printing effect, good durability, can meet most daily printing needs.
Thickness (such as 80g/m² and above)
Application scenarios: Special use areas, such as kitchen thermal printing paper (waterproof, oil-proof, scratch-proof), movie tickets, high-demand logistics labels.
Features: Thicker, more clear printing effect, durable, and with specific protective functions (such as waterproof, oil, etc.), suitable for use in harsh environments.
3. Choose suggestions
Select according to device requirements: Different printers or printing devices have certain requirements for the thickness of thermal paper, so when selecting thermal label paper, you need to confirm your device specifications and choose the appropriate thermal paper thickness.
Choose according to the printing content: If you need to print information for a long time and need to save, or you need to print multiple colors and complex patterns on the label, it is recommended to choose thicker thermal paper to achieve better printing results and durability.
Consider environmental factors: If the label needs to be used outdoors or in harsh environments, you need to choose a heat-sensitive label paper with waterproof, ultraviolet, heat and cold resistance.
4. Precautions
When using thermal label paper, avoid long-term exposure to sunlight or humid environment, so as not to affect the quality and life of the label.
Select the appropriate thickness and quality of thermal label paper according to actual needs to balance cost and performance.
In summary, thermal label paper of different thicknesses can meet diverse needs, from daily office to special industrial applications. When choosing, it is necessary to consider equipment requirements, printing content, environmental factors and cost effectiveness.
